Abstract

The invention relates to a convertible vehicle (1) having a movable roof (2), which has a flexible cover (4) at least in its back area (6), said cover being held in a tensioning bracket (8) in the back area thereof, which can be displaced upwards from a tensioned position forming the closed roof (2). The convertible vehicle is configured in such a way that at least one folding device (13) acting upon a border area of the cover (4) that is located beneath and in front of the tensioning bracket (8) in driving direction (F) of the cover (4) is assigned to said cover (4), said folding device exerting a constraining folding force upon said border area when the roof is being opened (2)..
